CNN is obsessed with releasing photos of Donald Trump events and trying to make it look like not many people attended them. They tried to do this again this week with a blatantly fake news story, but their plan ended up backfiring in a big way.

The New England Patriots visited the White House on Wednesday to celebrate their Super Bowl win. CNN immediately tried to make it look like Barack Obama was a more popular president than Trump by tweeting out this photo:

This IMMEDIATELY backfired when the Patriots themselves called CNN out for spreading a fake news story by tweeting, “These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn.”

These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y
